<< I have som additional information about Ljosen: he was imported to Sweden in 1985 and has sired some very good stock here. I'm not updated on the statistics, but I remember at least one daughter winning the prestigious annual National show for 3 yo fillies in Sweden. I belive that there are more. He has many diploma daughters, fillies who have earned the breeding diploma at the aged of three by scoring 40 points out of 50 at the evaluation. Ljosen also has sons approved for breeding. The stallion himself also has a successful show-record. Ljosen was foaled in 1977 and died just recently. His Swedish studbook number was 145. I think most people would agree that Ljosen was one of the most successfull stallions used in the Swedish breeding programmes in the late 80's and early 90's. >> Thank you Anneli for the info. Anvils Ljosen (he has been called Duke but I will call him Ljosen) is settling in, my mares are both totally in love with him and are fighting for his attention. I have to get to work and build a new house for my goats so he can have a stall. For now he is doing fine turned out in the arena. Sue Clark-Sorger Crown Oak Fjords Sandia Park NM
